Sugar Cane Denim

[cusswords]

I have them in 34. The waist on mine stretches to 36.5" after a couple wears.

^Would It be safe for me to get a 34 being that my actual size is a 36?

Sugar Cane 1947 at five months of wear and two washes (plus factory wash)

 

 

 

Here's how I wear 'em (together with SC shirt):

 

[Flash]

looks like a really nice fit , making me regret not picking up a pair 

[Sugar Mountain]

You have the same denim in a jacket though... and plenty of jeans to work through last time I checked!

[Iron Horse]

Excellent, can't wait until my '47s look like that!

[Graytrain]

Yeah flash, lets not throw ourselves a pity party! Lol. 

[Flash]

yeah , dont plan on any jeans purchases for a long time ( lots of baby stuff to buy ) ... guess thats why i regret not buying a pair so far 

[goodrain]

I regret not picking up the Papa Nui Avenger cap more. Looks great on you, SM!

Picked up a pair of SC40400 from PSA, that arrived today! Grabbed the last 28 they had, and I think there should still be a 26 kicking around if any of you have a lady in your life who needs a pair. I haven't soaked these yet, as they seem to be the non-washed version which is interesting.

@EvilG__ fab p-up ... those 40400N bleed like a mofo ... If could do my experience over, I'd just do a quick cold soak & wear 'em wabi-sabi.

SC40400 are bloody nuts! Would be very fun to see a pair properly broken in.

 

Chantheman: They run big so if you're ever starting to hunt for one I'd recommend sizing down one.

IIRC, @chantheman had 40100N(?) awhile back, w/c I think he had to sell ...

good memory. i have a pair in a 29 still that i hardly wear. im glad i sized down since the cut runs a little loose but i do wish the waist was a 30.

speaking of Edo Ai (not mine)

[Graytrain]

Wow, thats the most worn Edo Ai Ive ever seen. That has to be years!

[jfurt]

Those are unreal.

[itsbenhere]

The evo on those are insane, but can't say that if I saw them for a sec at target I wouldn't think that they were super janky looking, and look at my jeans and mine look way better...

[volvo240thebest]

fuck I thought exactly the same but didn't want to say it at first!

[itsbenhere]

gotta keep it real.

 

Evo is incredible though, I wonder why no lap fade though? They're the same consistency throughout the thigh leg etc. Even on super faded pairs usually theres some difference in color between leg and lap?

oh shit, congrats man

[Flash]

thanks mate , first scan next week

I've been considering a pair of Okis recently, and the size 36 one-wash measurements at selfedge (with the 35-inch waist) look right for me. I'm wondering how realistic it would be to fully shrink a pair of unwashed (from HPA, for example) all the way to the one-wash specs?

 

I searched the thread, but with an archive this big it was pretty hard to find consistent info over the years.

 

Thanks for any thoughts folks can share. Cheers.

i think if you use a hot machine dryer they will shrink around the same; if you do cold wash/line dry i think they'll get close after 5 or 6 washes though not quite as shrunk..i would go with raw..

My 40601s don't use the exact same denim as the Okinawas, although they are both 50/50, so I'm fairly certain they should shrink similarly. Anyway, I found that the only shrinkage I saw after the first two machine washes (and passes through the dryer) was about an inch or so in the inseam and maybe a touch in the thigh/top block. The waist has stayed pretty much where it's at, along with everything else, through 10 or so washes since. Hope that helps!
